I don’t know what will happen, given the possibilities. However I do know that anyone who is pushing back against them is being labeled as hating America amongst other things. It’s a psyop to legitimize any crackdown on protests.

What is happening in Chicago, and other cities across the U.S., is unimaginably horrific—it will forever be a stain on American history.

Do your part to fight back against this by attending a protest this Saturday.

We need to show America—and the rest of the world—that we are done with this shit.

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Republicans are currently going around the media to claim the nationwide peaceful No Kings protest on 10/18 is a “Hate America” rally.

Actually, No Kings is a rally of love—love for the founding ideals of America, love for the democracy and freedoms we cherish, love for one another.

Let’s show it:

From a strategic perspective, I'm struck by how the Trump administration seems to view its strategy as using 'red states' to hold down 'blue states' but the actual gap between Illinois and Texas is fairly small - IL is D+6, TX is R+6 or so. These aren't even 55/45 states, they're both 53/47 states.

@merovingians.bsky.social gets it.

Go to a No Kings protest. Make connections on the ground. Join or form a group, whether it’s 50501 or something more obviously leftist.

Use those connections for mutual aid and to organize anti-ICE action, boycott, prep strikes and more.

See you in the streets

the abbot of unreason (an archaeologist) @merovingians.bsky.social · 11d

this is why leftists dismissing 50501 and such as a bunch of useless libs is so unserious. 50501 is mustering protests across the country without a major provocation. it's a dress rehearsal and we're really fucking rusty.
